San Francisco Off the Beaten Path Tips by painterdave

I took these photos on two different occasions to show you what the views are like if you drive along the waterfront from Fisherman's Wharf. You will go through Crissy Field, which was owned by the military, now has been vacated. You can stop all along the way, picnic, walk the dog, fish or just walk and enjoy the water scenes. The road goes almost all the way to the bridge, but if you want to visit the bridge observation area and Fort Point, you will have to go up the hill and get onto highway 101. Take the last exit before the bridge and you will find a parking lot with meters (quarters needed).
Don't forget to look back towards the city, and Alcatraz.
Tour buses won't go here, so you will get special photo ops that your friends missed out on.
If you want to see photos from across the bridge and get directions on getting there, go to my 5 Star View (new) tips.
Happy Trails.....
